RWY 03

Gothenburg Muni is in Gothenburg, Nebraska. The field elevation is 2,558.8 ft MSL. It has 2 runways. The longest is runway 14/32 at 3,300 ft. There is no control tower, so expect self-announce traffic on CTAF 122.8. UNICOM is also 122.8.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 3,558.8 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Runway 03/21 has medium intensity lights that are activated by CTAF. The airport also has 100LL available 24 hours by credit card. No on-field FBOs are listed.

A few operational notes matter here. Runway 14/32 is not plowed during winter months. There is a semi trailer near the departure end of runway 03 with a steep clearance slope. A tower is also charted off runway 03. Migratory birds are in the area during spring and fall. For clearance delivery, contact Denver ARTCC at 303-651-4257. If you are planning a first stop here, review the current FAA Chart Supplement before departure and pay close attention to runway 03 departure planning.
